Great stay, excellent service and staff.
Great service as always. We dine here and have drinks quite often however this time it was for my birthday. Receptionist was kind enough to offer early check (at a cost) which is fine as it was nearly 3 hours before the usual check in, so that the room could be decorated. Room was clean and spacious, again room service staff were excellent.

8/10 Very good
Love this centrally located hotel. Very trendy vibe. However, it is very dark from a lighting and decor point of view so it’s not to everyone’s taste. Lovely appointed bedrooms.
